Before derrick rose and d wade it was baron davis.he was explosive and could finish through traffic.he was definitely one of the most exciting players to watch in his prime.
I don't know if this was intentional but you literally repeated 3 comments bro ''One of the most exciting players to watch in his prime.. legendary'' ''His ability to finish around the rim was incredible'' ''Baron Davis was the prototype for the Dwayne wades and Derrick roses. ''
@Kyrie Irving 😭😭 you're mixing his comment with the guy's below. The other guy said "he's the prototype for Dewayne wade" not the guy you're responding to.
PG 13PACERNATION he wasn't under rated. Kobe, T Mac ,iverson, Vince, ray Allen on the bucks. The amount of guards in the early 2000's. All of them I just listed are number 1 ballot hall of famers. Dudes feared him but its was competitive as hell
That's because his otherwise promising career had his prime cut short due to injuries. These kinds of athletic plays weren't quite as frequent as the video would suggest as he had a lot of trouble staying healthy and keeping his weight down.
Baron Davis was the prototype for the Dwayne wades and Derrick roses. Before him we’ve never seen a point guard this explosive combine with his aggressiveness to attack the rim. Super underrated
Baron Davis was one the greatest point guatds ever .. crazy dunker & amazing ball handler.. he was amazing to watch .. thank you Baron Davis for entertaining us throughout your career .. god bless you Baron Davis .. you were such as icon & tremendous player .. you shall never be forgetten because you were a great player who gave us much joy & happiness .. 👍🙏
Yeah, Derrick stronger and quicker. BD shot better and could go coast to coast faster. But, both about as explosive. It is wild how BD could dunk over two, three dudes by slithering in the lane. Derrick was going to the lane to take your head off.
every time you see any player of this era do a step back jumper Baron incorporated that in his game first when he played for the clippers more than ever and made the beard popular before Harden ....Baron is a trend setter an a OG
They both came in the league around the same time I never was a Pierce fan didn't like his game to me it was boring I payed more attention to Davis cause his game was more exciting and Davis step back Is more identical in the league now than Pierce imo
There will never be another PG like BDiddy.... The weight to punish defenders in the post (along with the post moves), the quickness, the handle, the springs, the creativity, the jumper, ability to finish with contact.. he was the real deal.. youd be hard pressed to find a guard in todays game that has all his skills
It was players like The Big O, I.T., Magic, and Stockton, that pioneered the way for guards. And then it was players like A.I., The Glove, and Baron Davis that layed the stones down, so that players like Wall, Westbrook, and Lillard can come in and play the way they play. We're witnessing the Era of the point guard ladies and gentlemen.
You said it bro.. for me, Baron Davis is one of the greatest point guards ever played the game in its highest level in the NBA.. Crazy dunker, great speed, great ball handler, dribbles, leadership.. etcccc Baron Davis had everything in basketball and we are grateful that we witnessed his great career which have us much joy and happiness
You're not crazy. You just don't know anything about basketball. Like literally nothing. These are highlights. He was a good player. Absolutely not even close to a top 10 pg so no you aren't crazy you just don't know anything about basketball.
this is painful to say, but I had no idea he used to be this cold. I didn't start watching basketball until 2007 and never really saw him play much when he was a warrior. the only real memories I have of his playing days are from when he was a Knick 😩
Backstory: I had no cable for over a year through out 2004. I found out about J.R. Smith, Dwight Howard and Josh Smith eventually and was like "who the heck are these guys" But I recognized J.R.'s face from the dunk contest when he arrived to Denver.
he was my favorite PG as a teen in the early 2000's. His crossover was lower than the ground, his hops and quickness were impossible for such a fat short guy, he had no jumper but the balls of a bull and all the talent in the world.
BDiddy aka Too Easy (Rucker Park nickname). My absolute favorite player to use in the early 2000s NBA Live and NBA 2K games. His combination of strength, speed, and athleticism was rare at the time. He was exciting to watch 🏀
This is who I compared D Wade to in his early years, and I'm sure he wouldn't have been upset about it either. B Diddy was the first explosive, athletic, scoring pg I could remember destroying the NBA. The battles he had with Chauncey when he was a Pacer were epic, and that NBA2k opening poster will always be in my memories.
I say this all the time. No one absolutely no one was fuckn with Baron. Past or present. If he only stayed healthy could have been the 🐐 Pg. He was unstoppable. No one even comes close to his handle and explosiveness

I agree! Baron Davis was THE TRUTH!
Steve Francis, Baron Davis, 2 Great PG's who can put on a slam.
Steve francis too
One of the most exciting players to watch in his prime.. legendary
Jermayll Smith he was NASTY! one of my favorite players to watch in the early 2000's
One of mine too
@@franciscoolivas7662 A lot of great players in that era...don't forget about Stevey Franchise!
amazing player who gave us much joy & happiness all his career ..
Definitely very underrated
His ability to finish around the rim was incredible
high horse actually I did back in '99 he was a beast and my favourite player to watch on the team mate
high horse it's just unfortunate when he tore his knee against the Knicks
Could of Been a superstar
Baron Davis was on another level but it sucked how he was underrated
PG 13PACERNATION he wasn't under rated. Kobe, T Mac ,iverson, Vince, ray Allen on the bucks. The amount of guards in the early 2000's. All of them I just listed are number 1 ballot hall of famers. Dudes feared him but its was competitive as hell
Makaveli and 90s
Injuries really set him back. Baron was one of the best.
He never took care of himself like his elite peers.
Athletic power guard with flashy point guard skills. BD was fun to watch !!!
2000’s decade was the greatest era in basketball , so many underrated stars !
Honestly it might have been more competitive than the 80s.
@@aaronflowers8881 it 100 percent was
We definitely forgot how good Baron was
That's because his otherwise promising career had his prime cut short due to injuries. These kinds of athletic plays weren't quite as frequent as the video would suggest as he had a lot of trouble staying healthy and keeping his weight down.
Nahh, just you smdh 🤦♂️
Dat man was great
@@JoshuaWilliams-bh6rj right
Look like a baller
Only old heads remember this. One of favorite players ever.
He was ferocious! A lot of broken ankles and grave stones in the paint unda the basket...
Baron Davis was the prototype for the Dwayne wades and Derrick roses. Before him we’ve never seen a point guard this explosive combine with his aggressiveness to attack the rim. Super underrated
I’m the biggest Baron Davis fan but we actually saw it a year earlier when Steve Francis got drafted. Same type of explosion and aggressiveness
@@ImTooMuch2 💯💯💯
And his ability to handle/pass the rock and his ability to hit the outside shot
Steve Francis as well
Stephon marbury
2 conversations that he’s never mentioned in but should be: best handle, most athletic pgs
One of the most gifted athletes of all-time.
Robert Pack reincarnated.
Throwback hoops reference. Loved Robert Pack's game.
The bounce and the crossovers are incredible. He was so amazing in his prime.
Dr0pkidd it’s sad a basketball players prime is so short
That bounce was ridiculous
But this video is before his prime anyways
He's very crafty, quick, explosive and smooth at the same time🔥
@christianharrison5478
What do you know about basketball with your cute ass? 😂
Baron Davis was one the greatest point guatds ever .. crazy dunker & amazing ball handler.. he was amazing to watch .. thank you Baron Davis for entertaining us throughout your career .. god bless you Baron Davis .. you were such as icon & tremendous player .. you shall never be forgetten because you were a great player who gave us much joy & happiness .. 👍🙏
I can see why they were talking about Derrick Rose and Baron Davis having some similarities years back
Yeah, Derrick stronger and quicker. BD shot better and could go coast to coast faster. But, both about as explosive. It is wild how BD could dunk over two, three dudes by slithering in the lane. Derrick was going to the lane to take your head off.
rose would have been better. injuries just ruined him sooner. but look at him tonight! what a story
@King Drake Exactly
every time you see any player of this era do a step back jumper Baron incorporated that in his game first when he played for the clippers more than ever and made the beard popular before Harden ....Baron is a trend setter an a OG
paul pierce incorporated the step back bruh
@@Trinx323 lol was waiting to see if it was here
The step back has existed way before Davis and Pierce. Lol
They both came in the league around the same time I never was a Pierce fan didn't like his game to me it was boring I payed more attention to Davis cause his game was more exciting and Davis step back Is more identical in the league now than Pierce imo
6'3 200 lbs guard dunking on players off vert
That’s fucking sick man. That is crazy how big he was and being able to do the dunks he did. Think it took it’s toll on his knees though smh.
He was heavier than 200lbs
More like 225 to 230!
And this is after tearing his ACL in college
6"2
They way he could just in and out his way to the rim 💯❤️🔥🔥🔥❤️💯 Underrated imo
There will never be another PG like BDiddy....

Louis Miletello III best comment ever W
PREACH!!!!!
Russ?
@@amare1cro nah man. Russ doesnt play that west coast flashy basketball. No one does any more really
@@tobym3808 You right man. Russ is pure force. Baron was a little bit of everything.
It was players like The Big O, I.T., Magic, and Stockton, that pioneered the way for guards. And then it was players like A.I., The Glove, and Baron Davis that layed the stones down, so that players like Wall, Westbrook, and Lillard can come in and play the way they play. We're witnessing the Era of the point guard ladies and gentlemen.
I can watch this Baron Davis on repeat all day!
People might think I'm crazy, but I think he's the greatest point guard in NBA history. This video is incredible, that music fits perfectly.
You said it bro.. for me, Baron Davis is one of the greatest point guards ever played the game in its highest level in the NBA..
Crazy dunker, great speed, great ball handler, dribbles, leadership.. etcccc
Baron Davis had everything in basketball and we are grateful that we witnessed his great career which have us much joy and happiness
@@charbelsaba3108 Great comment my friend! I would add one other thing: his perimeter defense was incredible too.
@@BadBart2217 like I told you bro ..
Baron Davis had everything in basketball on both ends defensively & offensively ..
You're not crazy. You just don't know anything about basketball. Like literally nothing. These are highlights. He was a good player. Absolutely not even close to a top 10 pg so no you aren't crazy you just don't know anything about basketball.
What’s the name of this beat? It’s 🔥
Kobe was my favorite, but I modeled my game after baron. Especially off the dribble.
Backboard slap at 0:38 sec is nasty
Hell Yeah when I was in high school(00-04) we called it smackin out
Calli Dawkins his dunks were sooo wavy, a lot of players just gave ugly dunks but not B Diddy!!
Wow how high he could jump and his passing ability was incredible
Oliver Thomas still havnt seen a pg like him in the nba. That size and hops and jump shot
Crazy IQ, the ability to pass and finish with style.
Rozeal Panigale. Exactly.
And Baron Debuted In 1999 Right After Being Drafted By The Hornets
Bro hats off to one of the sickest mixtapes I seen
Baron....half man half machine. Dude was nice!!
this is painful to say, but I had no idea he used to be this cold. I didn't start watching basketball until 2007 and never really saw him play much when he was a warrior. the only real memories I have of his playing days are from when he was a Knick 😩
Badass mixtape. Awesome music choice and editing. Excellent work.
Finally a great Baron Davis mix, thumbs up
how come no one talks about him and he is also never in greatest dunks complations?????!!?!!?!?!?
Harmony Canfield he was on the hornets that's why🤣😂
+Lilsonny HighLights that's true, I had no clue who J.R. Smith was until he left them, but his best dunk on Kirilenko was in a legendary playoff run.
southwest702 that means you dont watch basketball my man
Backstory: I had no cable for over a year through out 2004. I found out about J.R. Smith, Dwight Howard and Josh Smith eventually and was like "who the heck are these guys" But I recognized J.R.'s face from the dunk contest when he arrived to Denver.
lol
One of the best finishers in nba history
This is the coldest mixtape I've ever seen lol
Baron Davis would eeeeeasily be a top guard in today game!!!!!
Still havnt seen anyone like him in the league at that position.
This man and the Franchise were the shit in the 2000s.
Facts
Word most definitely BD was nasty in his prime i remember those days in the early 2000s word up
0:30 Crazy how he caught the ball and just did a standing dunk, at just 6'3", completely off his vertical over a 6'10" center (Andrew DeClercq).
bruh I thought I was the only one thinking that.
Cuzzzzzz I thought the same thing that’s scary crazy but really the best play honestly.
What's crazy is this was after his injury at UCLA. Dude was an absolute monster.
A bowling ball who has sick handles and can really jump.
he was my favorite PG as a teen in the early 2000's. His crossover was lower than the ground, his hops and quickness were impossible for such a fat short guy, he had no jumper but the balls of a bull and all the talent in the world.
BDiddy aka Too Easy (Rucker Park nickname). My absolute favorite player to use in the early 2000s NBA Live and NBA 2K games. His combination of strength, speed, and athleticism was rare at the time. He was exciting to watch 🏀
He Definitely doesn't get talk about ENOUGH in the NBA today or on all the NBA players podcast He was Beast
One of my favorite PG of all time.
This is my true idol like mike,carter,and baron Davis.
Boy was dangerous in the open court very underrated 💯 him and Francis was so fun to watch.
All of these clips were baron AFTER his ACL tear. Freshman Baron was the real deal
Hall of Famer for sure 💪🏾
One of the best most explosive and purposeful handles ever ever ❤️💪💯
His vert is like Robert pak.. this guy was bananas
Donovan Mitchell the next Baron Davis (which as you can see from this vid, is a compliment)
I can watch this Baron Davis on repeat all day! BCRC
great player, reminds of young D.Wade.
Love this video. Nice music and strong skills of Baron Davis. Love to be with him in Boss Cat Rocket Club.
LOL after he caught Jermaine one time, I see a few other highlights in which Jermaine is like NAAAH.... THIS DUDE CAN GET UP!!!
Most 00’s looking baller I’ve ever seen, the looks, the moves, all of it, even the outfit
Im questioning my whole childhood...I dont remember this man yamming like this!!
Sooo underrated man smh knee injuries are the worst
Baron Davis used to be HELL shawty!!
BARON = 🐐
Clicked on the video, hit the thumbs up before I even watched it cuz I already knew what time it was
Wow I forgot how filthy Baron was, some of those highlights were crazy
This is who I compared D Wade to in his early years, and I'm sure he wouldn't have been upset about it either. B Diddy was the first explosive, athletic, scoring pg I could remember destroying the NBA. The battles he had with Chauncey when he was a Pacer were epic, and that NBA2k opening poster will always be in my memories.
Handles so damn crisp.. such an ability to beat anyone one on one. Love BD
Ba was my favorite point from that era. Ba had the hops and handles so exciting. Miss those days
I never knew he was this good
Wats the name of this song or beat
Baron with the hornets was incredible
This was a point guard that literally could do EVERYTHING! He was stone-cold killer.
Someone pleeeeease send this to OSN
Back in the good old days when the league wasn't ruled by 3point shooters and guys who try to draw fouls instead of making the basket!
Change of pace was crazy
He was so underrated it’s crazy.
People forget how good he actually was. One of my favorite guards to watch
By far the most underrated point guard of my lifetime.
What a incredible player! Very underrated
Totally underrated PG with all skills necessary to be considered as one of the best to ever play at this position!
OMG them dunks
0:37 Backboard tap to show your Above The Rim credentials #dunkerEtiquette 👊
You got them God gifts and BossCatRocketClub reflexes -much love, Wayno
He would be a hall of fame without the injuries
Baron gotta Be top 3 pgz All-Time. Only Behind D.Rose & Gary Payton in my eyes.
That thumbnail
TheStarlitedecay Lol i would fly out the way💨
This man was insane ... how come no one talk about him anymore???
Cause he didn’t win a ring or come close. But he was my favorite player when he played
I see a lot of hornets baron in dennis smith, what a player!
The best!! Respect from BCRC gang
I say this all the time. No one absolutely no one was fuckn with Baron. Past or present. If he only stayed healthy could have been the 🐐 Pg. He was unstoppable. No one even comes close to his handle and explosiveness
The BEST PG I EVER SEEN 🏀💣💣💥💨
Running back playing PG… absolute beast
Underrated, this homie was super fucking Awesome 👌 👏 👍
legends from south central !
Wow, i almost forgot how good he was. What a beast.
There hasn’t been any pg like this still. I doubt we’ll find one.
Wynn Ahn Prime D-Rose was similar imo
@@RacksonRacksonRibss nah. Not like baron. Both unique but baron was diff. He was like a pg-pf
Man this guy was crazy ..
Baron was an absolute tank of a point guard
Gotta love a pure pg that can get up and dunk that hard!
yea he was def one of the first prototype guards that had a clean handle and crazy hops...human evolution at its finest
Song please?🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Baron Davis and CP3 both started with the Hornets and ended up with the Clippers. talk about coincidence
He played with Melo in new York after Clippers
Kidd and Nash had similar paths as well
